  • The Life of Brain

    I listened to this podcast today and think the subject matter was certainly relevant and worthy of debate. However I was disappointed by the unstructured and somewhat shouty argument about Angela Rayner. There was also a fair amount of random personal chit-chat about nothing very much. Finally it would really help if the sound/microphones could be balanced so that the volume is the same from each contributor. I’ve tried to be constructive and I hope this is helpful feedback

  • A mixed bag

    When this podcast is anti-woke it’s great.

    But when it’s full of apologetics on behalf of Putin, not so much.

  • Used to be good

    When this podcast was merely anti-woke it was great. When it slipped over into apologetics on behalf of Putin, not so much.
